The US SciFi channel has renewed Battlestar Galactica for a fourth season.

Production will commence in Vancouver, Canada, in July and premiere January 2008.

If the final episode of Season 3 is anything to go by, Season 4 could well see the end of the series. They've put themselves in a tricky position with the loss of a major character and revealing the identities of the "final five" Cylon models.  Let's hope they keep up the high quality scripts and impressive production values of the previous seasons.

The new season will run for the usual 22 episodes.
